Flash player says its installed, but isn't

I have installed flash player, get to box saying it was sucessful but it doesn't work..It doesn't show up under my programs, but does show up in my uninstall group.  I have tried many different ways suggested by the help page.  Have Norton anti virus, even disababled it to try again.  can watch utube videos, but not cnn or espn.  Any ideas?

What is your operating system, version & edition?
What is your web browser?
Can you see the Flash animation and version information at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ ?

  • Flash player says its installed but is not working- please read

    Hey everyone!
    the past few days I have easily spent several hours working with my flash player. First- it was saying I needed to put in the latest version, so I did, it said it worked but when I tried to watch videos or play a game etc I got an error message saying I needed flash player 11. and I went through that process countless times. I restarted my computer, ran my virus software, etc. when none of that worked I just disabled and trashed ALL of the software I had downloaded since I had had the problem including my current flash player and adobe. Just now, I tried to install the flash player again. It seemed to work great- it said it installed and I clicked finnish... but, behold, I go to watch a video for school and I have the same problem. I tried to change the computer type to the otehr windows 7 option for the download, again it seemed to work fine and downloaded and told me it was finished... but I still can't view my video or do any games etc online. I have worked with the IT department at school and with family... no one can figure it out. it should be working as far as we are all concerned...but it is not and I have school work to do.
    If someone could please help me I would much appriciate it! if this is a glitch with some adobe thing- PLEASE fix it asap. I have work to do!
    Thanks!

    Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking one of the following links and selecting "Save as".
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Save the file to your downloads folder.
    Reboot your system.
    BEFORE opening ANYTHING else, locate and run the installer.
    If using Internet Explorer, see: Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer
    and: ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer

  • I was trying to install premier pro it says its installed but it isn't and i can't reinstall it

    i was trying to install premier pro it says its installed but it isn't and i can't reinstall it

    Thanks for the added information, the screenshot did not get posted but that is ok.
    These steps should resolve the issue on your Mac:
    Double-click on the link for Uninstall Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 at Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers.
    Check if the Install link is now available in the Adobe Application Manager.
    If not, install and run the Adobe Cleaner Tool to remove any traces of Premiere Pro. It can be downloaded from here: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html.
    The Install link should now be available in the Adobe Application Manager.

  • Issue with ARD 3.0 not pushing out Installs, Says its installing but not

    Issue with ARD 3.0 not pushing out Installs, Says its installing but not
    Has anyone seen this. It seems to happen with ARD 3, have not seen this in ARD 2.
    I go to the Install Packages on Target Computers, put in: 10.4.7 Combo (for the correct CPU, PPC or Intel), security updates, QT 7.1.2, etc.
    Push it to Macs I can connect to, observe and control.
    The progress bar copies the files (in some instances it does not) and then it just hangs there, bar does not move, Installs never finish, not good, very odd.

    Is it the same clients that have the problem every time? Are those clients doing anything cpu intensive? Have you tried rebooting the affected clients?
    Maybe try a smaller package on those clients.

    I have just setup a new ipad and first app I downloaded was ibook.  my ipad says its installed but I can't find it.  any suggestions please?

    For some reason this happens to some people.  The one thing that works is to reboot your iPad.  To reboot:  Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad wil restart.  Once it's back up, I'm betting you'll see iBooks.

  • Adobe Flash Player says not installed when it is.

    Adobe Flash Player shows as installed on the primary Admin account (and works there) all other Admin and regular user accounts say it isn't installed.
    I have tried installing as various users and Administrator status, but I get the same response.
    "Install Successful"
    "Adobe Flash Player not Installed"
    I am new to MAC, but can't fathom how this could be Apples fault. Unfortunately, Adobe support requires Adobe Flash Player to access help content.

    To find the folder I went to Finder > Library > Internet Plug-ins.
    The folder is empty and says 0 files. I am not currently on an Admin log-in, but I'm used to files showing regardless. When installing, I am asked for the Admin account and log in info before the file will load.
    I downloaded the latest flash player from Adobe this morning.
    Virtual Drive: What I am used to being an installation file in Windows shows up as a disk drive icon on my desktop. I have to "eject disk" to get rid of it. I thought it was just a "MAC" thing. Other software loaded this way, but also had me drag an icon to the Applications folder. Adobe does not.
    I am starting to wonder if there is a file sharing issue that isn't allowing me to see some software. I noticed I also do not see data in 'Public' when I know I added pictures there in another account. I can't remember changing any settings on my MBA. I have only had it a month and have been afraid of messing up my first MAC.
    Thanks for staying with this.

  • Says Adobe Flash Player 11 successfully installed but it is NOT!

    Hi, I tried to install the Adobe Flash Player 11. It says each time (tried many times) it was successfully installed but it was not. Actually it gets to 50% then stops and sometimes ask me to close Internet Explorer sometimes does not and then when I close it, it runs fast to 100% saying successfully installled. When I check in my control panel it gives me only 6MB installed but should be 16.3MB. But actually is not installed at all.
    My OS is windows 7.
    Please help, I need AFP ASAP. Thank you

    Here's what I recommend:
    Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by clicking one (or both) of the following links.
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Because IE asks if you want to "Run" or "Save", choose "Save".
    Reboot...
    Then perform a "clean install"
    Afterward, make sure Flash Player is enabled for Internet Explorer

  • I installed firefox beta on my google nexus 7 tablet i also installed the adobe flash player pluging its working but i have no sound?

    no sound on adobe flash 11 plug in, video works but no sound

    When doing playback on your device, have you check its volume is the correct? Remember Android has three volume controls you have to check: Multimedia, Notifications and Alarms.
    If it is OK, then maybe the issue is on the site. Which site are you visiting? If you are trying to watch videos on Youtube maybe you'd better visit m.youtube.com where you can use tablet's native media player to watch the video.
    In my tablet I can't event start Flash. It is installed and browsers detect it but movies just don't play. Flash for mobiles is very unstable.

  • Flash Player has downloaded/installed, but still does not work

    This is a relatively new problem for my computer, but from what i have read, is a common problem so I know it is not my computer.  Out of the blue, click on a video and all i see is a black screen.  No adobe logo saying i needed to update or download in order to watch video.  So i unistalled, rebooted and reinstalled..nothing.  I uninstalled/installed with zip..nothing.  Everything that is enabled is enabled..nothing.  Reset IE...nothing.  Downloaded Mozilla..nothing.  I am currently running windows xp, IE 8 (32 bit) and all security software are disabled.  The crazy part is that when i check the file for flash player, it does not show any bites in file.  I know there should be bites in there because i checked on a computer with working flash player and it shows 6.00 mb.  So somewhere from the installation, the file is lost.  i have tried pretty much all suggestions, dating back from '09 and really really need some advice.  

    ok..flash player x is listed.  always has been.  i don't understand the whole "no files" bit cuz the computer that i am using show 6.00mb in files.  unless it is outdated? this computer is brand new, custom made as of last month to my specs, so i can't see how adobe would be outdated.  Mozilla shows in my add/remove files, but that flash player plugin is nowhere to be found.  in fact, this is all the adobe files i see in order:
    Adobe AIR
    Adobe Download Manager
    Adobe Flash Player10 Active X
    Adobe Flash Reader X
    Adobe Shockwave Player 11.5
    i am really not liking mozilla, however...upon clicking a video, it is telling me i need to update to newer version of adobe.  When i click on dl, it gives me a window to save as a binary file.  it will not download and all security/firewall are off.  Shockwave has always been enabled.  pretty much anything you posted to do in past threads..i have done.  its driving me crazy
    i can bring up other websites, just cannot watch videos and was stuck on that redirect to adobe forum..will try the forum again.
